Normally, the clutch will last for 200K miles. If the owner did a lot of 0-60 runs with the clutch not completely released, that will do it. Remember, the clutch shouldn't slip even if there is a boost in BHP.

I wonder if he had a lightened flywheel put in??? Or he didn't know how to measure clutch wear. When you push the clutch to the floor and the gears crunch, then it is time for a new one. The more the wear, the farther down the clutch has to go before being totally disengaged.

BTW, 300 bhp is the norm for Europe with the T5 and R models.
